The reason you saw this work on one browser, and then not on another, might be because some really old browsers can’t support the client-side translation, while others can.

We first try to run the translation, and if it doesn’t work, we fall back to a hard-coded instance of the default message in English:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/scripts/browser-update.js#L50](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/scripts/browser-update.js#L50)

Unfortunately there’s not much more we can do about this. Hopefully people will be off those browsers at some point.
